@GPSTUGA, it looks like you are using an external proggy outside Primo to check the GPS status. I can't tell the color of the bars, so I'm assuming at least 4 bars are "green" What you need to find out is whether Primo is receiving (and using) the altitude data from GPS receiver. Unfortunately, you won't be able to see GPS information from inside Primo unless it didn't acquired a locked yet.

Spoiler: GPS information

This post requires you to click the "LIKE this post" button and hit F5 to read this content.

You can also click on the top middle bar (with two house numbers on the sides of the road icon) to get into the "Where Am I?" screen where it will show Lon,Lat,Alt info. This will tell you whether it's a skin or receiver problem.

In the GPS status there's two shades of gray, one lighter than the other, the darker has 7 satellites.
Regarding the top middle bar, I just got a pic and it shows the altitude BUT the proggy, as you say, also shows it.
The problem here, as explained before, is that the IGO program receives the altitude but doesn't update it and on the GPS status, the Altitude is always changing when I'm driving.

Reason: SPOILERS, please

Then this support what I said, it's a skin problem. I have to look at data.zip to see where/how.

P.S. The external GPS status you're looking at has little to do with your problem (other than GPS receiver working outside proggy) What you want is the GPS info screen inside proggy per my snapshot and the info from "Where Am I?" where it will tell you if it's the skin problem or not.

Does altitude update correctly when you drive?

I can't find the "GPS info" button, can you pls put here a screen shot or the path to see it?
I replaced the data.zip by the new one but the program still doesn't update the altitude.
On the pictures you can see that in the same place there are two altitudes, 64 meters (First ignition on) and 0 (zero) meters (Second ignition on) - The diference is that I turned off and on the ignition. On the WinCE GPS monitor you can see the real altitude.

There seems to be some confusions. If you look at your snapshots, the altitude is same in the "Where Am I" and proggy Nav screen, that is what the fixed does; so that part works. If you trying to compare what you see outside of proggy with what it showed inside, then they are not the same. I've asked but gotten no answered. Does altitude update correctly when you drive? Ignition on or off is meaningless. Make sure altitude changes as shown outside of proggy and inside proggy (and at the moment don't worry if they are the same or not)

That's the point!
The altitude DOESN'T changes when I drive. On the pictures, you can see 64 meters and those pictures where taken almost at sea level (14 meters as per GPS monitor). I live around 1 km from the sea.

Again, the altitude on the several pictures changed after I turn on the ignition and never changed. When driving there's no changes on screen altitude.
Regarding the function "GPS Info" (That I can see after sys.txt changes) nothing happens when I hit it.
